His life could be better, he can forge a new path, that is until his past finds him and could destroy everything. After six years his life is finally going the way he wants it to. He has found a family that accepts him for who he is and backs him. Now he has a connection with a woman that they rescued, and it can all be ripped away and destroyed when his past comes wandering back in and causes trouble for him.

She hasn’t had an easy life. It seems that she’s always had a rough time of it, that is until she was rescued by the King’s Descendants and found a connection with Bohdi. He makes her feel whole not broken and he listens to her. Now her world has been turned on its axes and she feels that only way to correct it is to move on and find her way alone. So, she’ll do just that. Until everyone seems to think that her idea of where to move is a great idea and they all seem to follow, even if it is only for a weekend.

I really enjoyed Bohdi and Merleigh’s story. It was angsty, raw, tragic and rough, but the guys from the King’s Descendants always fight for their family and those they care about. The fact that Merleigh wanted to find her own way but the King’s stayed with her through the entire way was a true testament of their dedication and care for those they consider family and protect them no matter where they may go with their lives. Their care dedication not only showed through with Merleigh, but also with Simon and Cova as well. They may be a 1% outlaw MC, but they all have hearts that are so big and deep. I love the King’s Descendants and Bella Jewel’s stories. I give this story a 5-star review and look forward to more gritty, dark, deep stories to come.

Wow! I love Tulley. I thought I loved Lachlan and Tiernan’s stories, but Tulley blew my mind. He’s sexy, protective and a powerful member of The Clan. His distraction from McKenna could cost him his whole family if he doesn’t get control of it.

McKenna Sweeney is a sweet, quiet, shy teacher at St. Albert’s, the school that trains the boys that will join the Clan when the time is right. No one knows the dark, sexy side of McKenna though besides and Tulley and he wants to keep it that way.

They’ve had their ups and downs and this story will highlight some tough times for Tulley and McKenna as well as McKenna’s struggles to find her path in life, but Tulley or the Clan will not give up on her and they will help her find her way. When the Clan is attacked, McKenna finds a strength from within that she didn’t know existed. She struggles with the fight between her mind, her heart and past to overcome the issues she has to make a life with Tulley and move on in life. They both have fiery tempers, and they clash constantly, but that’s also what draws them to each other. There will be some dark times, but the sassiness of McKenna keeps Tulley on his toes and fighting for her the whole time. I loved this story and I love Tulley. The Clan will discover the true respect that the towns people of Ballyhock have for them in this story and tragedy will strike this loving, powerful family, but they will survive and find their strength within the family and town they reside. I give this story a 5-star review and wish that there was more of the McCarthy Clan. I have loved all of their books and hate to see the series end, but it was a great ride all along the way. If you like Mafia romance with dominating men, strong, sassy women, then you will love the McCarthy Clan books by Jane Henry.

Review of His Dirty Demands

Wow! Talk about a story with intense heat!

This was my first book by Fiona Murphy, but I’m pretty sure it won’t by my last. A story of intense heat between Cesare Sabatini and Alicia Jeffries. Two people from different lives, but the same.

Cesare Sabatini (pronounced Chezeray), is now a real estate tycoon, but he came from a struggling family. He is the old of three boys that were on their own from a young teenage life. He raised his brothers and they made billions in real estate and own most of Chicago now. After the tragedy of his parent’s deaths he has sworn off marriage and commitment. The first time he saw Alicia there was heat from first sight.

Alicia Jeffries came from a tough childhood too. She is not a petite woman and she has settled into being alone for life. She works as a secretary and takes on making quilts to sell to help support her and her sister. She gets the opportunity for a job that will help her with her support she gives her sister Bethany for college. She’s offered a position as a personal assistant to Dante Sabatini, Cesare’s younger brother. She’s a little warry of taking the position, but she figures it will help her financially.

Cesare and Alicia fight their attraction for a while, but after Alicia makes a decision that could get her into a lot of trouble to help out her sister, Bethany, Cesare decides that it is an opportunity for him to make her his. Alicia is regretful that she made the decision, but she is happy it finally made Cesare take the chance she has been wanting since the first time she saw him.

I loved this story and hated to put it down to go to bed or do anything. It is an intensely hot story between these two. Alicia brings out the soft side of Cesare and he finds happiness in life again. I am already excited for the next book. I give this book a 4.5-star review and highly recommend it to readers who like stories about Alpha men who are brought to their knees by one woman.

Review of His Dirty Promises

Dominic Sabatini is the youngest Sabatini and works with his brother Cesare in the real estate business. He loves his brothers and his sister in-law, Alicia as well as his nephew Matteo. He is going through a loner period and when Alicia’s sister Bethany graduates from her Physicians Assistant grad program, he declines going to her graduation party because of his grumpiness and his thoughts that she is a brat and not worth his time.

Bethany is happy to be done her grueling graduate program and has decided to take a bit of time before she takes the licensing exam to become a Physician’s Assistant and find a job. She is excited to see her nephew but as her brother in-law, Cesar has predicted, she can’t stay very long in the house with the energetic toddler and opts to move into Cesar and Alicia’s abandoned condo, right next door to Dominic’s condo.
Sparks fly when these two first lay eyes on each other and Dominic fights his wants and needs to protect Bethany and the family in the event that anything goes wrong between the two. The only problem is that Bethany is determined, and her mind is made up that she wants Dominic. He has no chance when she begins to put her wiles to work on him. These two have a lot to fight and overcome to be together and they will have tragedy to overcome as well for their lives to be smooth and their HEA to find them. This story has tragedy, a determined young woman that knows what she wants and will fight for it, until she hits a pothole and has to redirect herself. She’ll come out stronger on the other side though. I really enjoyed this story and give it a 4.5-star review.

Review of His Dirty Bargain

Vincenzo “Enzo” Sabatini decided to go a different path than his brothers. This was due to the years of resentment that Enzo had towards his brother Cesar after their parent’s tragic deaths. He helped with the initial investment into the real estate business and put some time into it until he left for the Army and became a Ranger. When he returned home, he decided that he needed to follow his own path and opened and hedge fund business. Now, like his brothers, he’s worth billions of dollars and it’s still growing.

Enzo wants what his brothers have, but he vowed years ago that he would never marry for love. He wants the family, and he is determined to find a woman that can give him that. However, the woman he chose is not the right fit and he will discover that shortly after they marry. He doesn’t want to put up with Cesar telling him he told him so, so he pushes his brothers and family away. His luck will take a turn though when he decides to sell the condo he purchased with his ex-wife and the spit fire of an agent that he works with, that actually works for his brother’s, will turn Enzo’s life upside down and change his world.

These two are like oil and water for a long time. They’ve both been hurt and have a lot of baggage to clear up before they can find their HEA. It will take a lot of pain and fighting for these two to get there, but eventually their brains will clear and they will discover their path. It will take a lot of work, but they really are meant for each other. They just have to get past the previous hurt and betrayal that they carry with them.

I loved each of these books and bought the bundle because I had read His Dirty Demands last year and wanted Dominic and Enzo’s stories. Now I find that there will be two more to read and I cannot wait for them to come out. These characters are deep, hurt, healed, and fun to read. I love that the women look at their men and state “Am I ever going to get the chance to be right?” I give this book a 4.5-star review. I finished this book at 5:00 am, because I could not put it down.

I read A Ruthless Halloween (Ruthless Kings MC) by K. L. Savage. The Ruthless Kings are celebrating another holiday but this one is supposed to be scary, but in a fun way for the club, town and the kids that under the Ruthless Kings’ protection.

The club has no idea that danger is close and lurking within their gates and if they don’t act in time, they could lose more than one of theirs. If you’ve read any of the Ruthless Kings MC stories, you will love this one just as much as the rest of the stories. The suspense, danger, action, and crazy shenanigans that the MC brothers get into is evident in this story and keeps the pages turning. The danger, action, and suspense continue throughout the book and will keep you on the edge of your seat. I loved it and give it a 5-star review.

I read Oh Holy Knight (The Satan’s Knights MC New York) Janine Infante Boscoe. The Satan’s Knights MC is a family of bikers that are intwined with the mafia and they have some crazy members.

The previous president, Parish, stepped down and Wolf has taken over, but the tragedy from his past is still haunting him and he finds that it’s time to start living again and celebrate Christmas with his family (The Satan Knight’s) and show his granddaughter the fun side of him and his love for Christmas before tragedy struck. If you’ve ever read The Satan’s Knight’s you know all about being Property of Parish and that this MC family is large, loud and crazy. This book is no different than the other books in the series and crazy will shine through on this book the same as it does in the rest of the series. The remodel of Wolf and Lady’s home for Christmas is a hilarious trip of problems and crazy situations that had me laughing out loud. I love the Parish family and the Satan Knight’s and loved this novella. I give it a 5-star review.

I read Christmas with the McCarthy’s by Jane Henry and loved it. The McCarthy Clan is a strong, powerful Irish Mafia Clan that is highly respected in their small town of Ballyhock. They are a family that protects their town as well as their family.

The entire Clan will be together for Christmas, but an unusual snowstorm will cause havoc with the family coming together and a few of the men will have to go out into the snow and cold to find one of their own and bring him home for Christmas. The family is in for a big surprise when they are all together this year. I love the McCarthy family and this book was just a good as the rest of the stories. I love the path it took and of course the characters as always were great and fun to read. I give this Novella a 5-star review and recommend that you read it, but you need to read the rest of the series as well to know the characters well. I promise it will

In school the kids referred to him as Whiskey Tango (White Trash), now he’s better known as a man that takes down Cartels for the FBI. He brought his best friend from school into his world when he helped him get out of a bad situation, now Anders Justin Taylor III is living in Texas again near the small town he grew up in and has his own team for the FBI task force taking down Cartels.

Texas Holloway had a crush on Anders in high school, but she hasn’t set eyes on him for many years. When she runs into Anders’ best friend from high school in the grocery store, the same best friend that she went to prom with, Whiskey O’Brian, Whiskey and Luciana, his wife, set Texas and Anders up on a blind date. The only one that knows who they are meeting is Texas.

This is a story of second chances and danger lurking around every corner. Luciana (Diaz) O’Brian is still being searched for and her friendship with Texas could lead Texas into dangerous territory as well. Texas, Whiskey, and Luciana have had it pretty good for a while, but they know that danger is still lurking for them and that they have to keep on their toes, but when Texas unknowingly stumbles into trouble, it puts all of them on the radar of the cartel still searching for Luciana. Anders could lose his second chance at love and a family if he doesn’t figure out where Texas was taken and take out the danger. I loved this story as much as I have loved all of K. L. Ramsey’s books. Her characters are great to read and her stories are full of danger, sexy, loyal, lethal men and women that know how to keep their men on their toes and are never dull. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend any of K. L. Ramsey’s books if you are looking for a read with sexy, dangerous men that will go the extreme for their women in keeping them safe and protecting them.
